its times like this I wish we were in the pre social media era, when you turned on ESPN and went "OH CRAP _____ just signed with _____"
because you did not have the ability to be bombarded with rumors like now..

This is a quote from a Jays blog that made me fall out of my chair laughing, I wish I could figure out how to embed it:

"Nothing happened in the last 3 seconds. Confirmed."

They're going to be disappointed in Toronto when Robert Herjavec gets off the plane after fliming Shark Tank in LA for a few days.

Maybe they're just importing the sushi from California for the party

Breaking:
Shohei Ohtani has signed a letter of intent to play Basketball at NDSCS in Wahpeton, ND forgoing his MLB career for a quiet life of playing basketball in the NJCAA division and having pizza on campus and playing pool with his teammates.
Shohei was quoted saying, "I really like the small town atmosphere and the 2 Cenex gas stations in town is very convenient."

Does this mean we don't have to follow any more Toronto based opera singers on the socials? Asking for friends.

It always seemed silly to assume that Ohtani was on the flight just because it was travelling between 2 cities. I don't care how infrequent they are. LA is LA and Toronto is a major metropolitan city.

My working theory is that Bob Nightengale is lying, because he's mad some Redditor made the scoop on the charter flight.

"INVESTIGATING IS NOT HOW INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM IS DONE!"

Was Michael Kay wrong about the press conference?

I haven’t seen anything about one happening

I'm kind of rattled by the fact that Bob Nightengale and Jon Heyman came in as the voices of reason and truth on this one.

My worldview is shattered.

This is a joke, right? You probably spend half of your day on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Kudos to MLBN for not even putting this on their screen with a question mark all day long, I have mostly had it on mute so maybe it was mentioned but their on-screen info is still mostly Juan Soto-dominated.

Are we sure the Dodgers didn't send a 6'4" Japanese guy in his late twenties on a private flight from Anaheim to Toronto to divert everyone while they secretly met with Ohtani?

I was thinking this was all-Dodger driven to divert attention from Dave Roberts' faux pas the other day.

I have it on excellent authority that Ohtani is in New Jersey tonight as the eccentric new owner of the Hackensack Bulls is paying him $15 million for a face to face meeting.

Heard a rumor just now that some guy in Watertown, MA went out for a smoke, and found Ohtani hiding on his boat.
Too soon!

Can they not pull flight manifests??? What time did dinner start? What kind of sushi was served? Does Sho have kids - were they in a sportsball tourney this weekend? Is there a documentary crew?
